What's on the menu for the Korean summit?

The menu for the Panmunjeom has been painstakingly planned to combine dishes from the North and South to symbolize the ties between both countries.

Yet despite all the thought that has gone into it, one dish on offer has already provoked a row, as you will read below:

A TOUCH OF SWISS

While not many things are known about Kim's childhood, one thing Seoul is certain about is that he spent several years in his teens being schooled in Switzerland. That means a lot of Swiss-inspired dishes for Kim at the banquet.

Aside from the Korean twist on rosti, which basically will be fried grated potato from South Korea's Gangwon province topped with cheese, the South Koreans will serve Swiss chocolate, macaroons and cheesecake in a set of desserts that Seoul's presidential Blue House has named 'Memories of Swiss.'

SOUTH KOREAN MEAT AND FISH

South Korean chefs at the banquet will also serve baked John Dory fish, a tribute to the South Korean port of Busan, where the 65-year-old Moon was born.

Seoul's presidential Blue House said North Korea has also agreed to bring to the dinner 'naengmyeon,' or cold buckwheat noodles, made by the head chef of Pyongyang's famous Okryugwan restaurant.

They also will serve grilled beef made from cattle at a ranch in the central town of Seosan.

The ranch became famous in 1998 when late Hyundai founder Chung Ju-yung sent 1,001 cattle from the ranch in two separate convoy across the border to the North in an effort to aid reconciliation between the rivals.

... JUST DESSERTS?

Dessert will be a mango mousse decorated with a blue map symbolizing a unified Korean Peninsula.

The mousse, subtitled 'Spring of the People' in a publicity photo, features islands known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in Korea, which lie about halfway between the East Asian neighbours in the Sea of Japan, which Seoul calls the East Sea.

A Japanese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said: 'It is extremely regrettable. We have asked that the dessert not be served.'

She added that Japan had lodged a protest over the mousse.
